Exploring Virtual Geographic Environments
Virtual geographic environments (VGE) are environments pertaining to the relationship between post-humans and 3-D virtual worlds. Post-humans are defined as a combination of humans in the real world with 3-D avatars in 3-D virtual worlds. Five types of space, namely Internet space, data space, 3-D graphical space, personal perceptual and cognitive space, and social space are used to explore the...
متن کاملVirtual Environments Begin to Embrace Process-based Geographic Analysis
Virtual environments are computer-based digital spaces that we can observe, participate in, and experience in person. Virtual environments were initially viewed as “mirror worlds” (Gerlenter 2004), although they are being extended as this virtuality broadens to include scenarios that cannot be found in real life. Employing virtual environments as a tool to facilitate scientific exploration is n...
متن کاملFramework for Virtual Cognitive Experiment in Virtual Geographic Environments
Virtual Geographic Environment Cognition is the attempt to understand the human cognition of surface features, geographic processes, and human behaviour, as well as their relationships in the real world. From the perspective of human cognition behaviour analysis and simulation, previous work in Virtual Geographic Environments (VGEs) has focused mostly on representing and simulating the real wor...
متن کاملA Conceptual Framework for Virtual Geographic Environments Knowledge Engineering
VGE geographic knowledge refers to the abstract and repeatable geo-information which is related to the geo-science problem, geographical phenomena and geographical laws supported by VGE. That includes expert experiences, evolution rule, simulation processes and prediction results in VGE. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for VGE knowledge engineering in order to effectively manage and ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Virtual Geographic Environments and Geography Research
Geographic environment is a combination of natural and cultural environments under which humans survive. Virtual Geographic Environment (VGE) is a new multi-disciplinary initiative that links geosciences, geographic information sciences and information technologies. A VGE is a virtual representation of the natural world that enables a person to explore and interact with vast amounts of natural ...
